Consider the galvanic cell described by (N and M are metals):

N(s)|N2+(aq)||M+(aq)|M(s)

If Eocathode = 0.182 V and Eoanode = 1.411 V, and [N2+(aq)] = 0.931 M and [M+(aq)] = 0.655 M, what is Ecell, using the Nernst equation? ____ V

(the answer is supposed to be 1.233 but I don't understand how)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Assumption: The temperature is considered to be 25 degrees C (298 K).

Footnote: For the cell to be feasible, E0cell > 0, which is not the case here. I have shown the procedure of calculating the cell potential assuming all the values provided in the question are accurate (including positive or negative signs).
